Vos leaps from Kopecky's wheel to win Omloop Het Nieuwsblad/As it happened
It was a dream Omloop Het Nieuwsblad debut for Marianne Vos, with the Visma-Lease a Bike rider holding off 2023 winner, Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), to claim victory in the sprint of a lead group of four.
The world champion had to settle for second this time with Lidl-Trek's Elisa Longo Borghini and Shirin van Anrooij crossing the line in third and fourth.
Vos was quick to react when Kopecky attacked on the Muur van Geraardsbergen, closing the gap to solo frontrunner Longo Borghini over the climb with Van Anrooij. The Dutchwoman was also equally attentive when Kopecky again tried to shake off her break companions on the Bosberg.
Van Anrooij and Longo Borghini also took their chances with repeated late attacks, but to no avail as it came down to a scenario that played to Vos' sprinting strength.
